Wow again! That's a big step, Suzy. Like Kimberly said, you have travelled a long way with this, from "hiding in the room" to now. Perhaps she's right about slowing down.
Because now the questions get harder. You're going to enjoy going out with your friend, I have no doubt. I'll bet it's going to be exciting and new, exhilirating and fun. And sometime soon the nagging question that's been inside you for many, many years is going to require an answer.
It seems to me that you really really really want to be a woman. Trust me, I can relate. I'm likely never going to transition, but there's not a day that goes by that I don't wish on some level that I was a woman. There is alway some degree of regret there. And I'm guessing that that regret is growing inside you at a rapid rate right now.
Whatever you decide, I wish you good luck, success, and happiness on your journey. We're always around for you. You have been one of the more familiar faces here for a long time, and we all care about you. Thanks for the very uplifting story. I'm real happy for you, and I'm glad it's all worked out well so far.
Have some flowers, what the heck.
